April Challenge Update
Posted by: Adriana Post date: May 17th, 2010Last month I joined the challenge that Lynn Terry put out for her elite members: to double traffic for one of my niche sites.
The challenge was from April 13th until May 12th, and while I did some of the things I planned to do, I didn’t do all of them.
I added several pages to the site: 5 new blog posts, and 3 new pages to the main site. I also submitted 5 articles to article directories, and worked on some back-links. But, I didn’t get a chance to guest post.
The results were not want I wanted, and I am a little bit baffled: my traffic actually went down by 96 unique visitors, even though I added content to both the site and blog, I submitted articles to directories, and added some links back to the site.
This doesn’t mean my efforts were in vain. I am sure in time they add up and will eventually help my site. While I am temporarily disappointed, life goes on and next month I’ll start a new challenge.
How are your efforts going? Are you achieving your goals? And if you get setbacks, what measures do you take to insure it won’t happen again?
I am going to continue to work on this site and not give up, even if my progress is smaller than wanted.
